"Mandarin, Guoyu or Putonghua? "Chinese" is a language known by many names, and China is a country home to many languages. Since the turn of the century linguists and politicians have been on a mission to create a common language for China. From the radical intellectuals of the May Fourth Movement, to leaders such as Chiang Kai-shek, and Mao Zedong, all fought to push the boundaries of language reform. Now, Internet users take the Chinese language in new and unpredictable directions. David Moser tells the remarkable story of China's language unification agenda and its controversial relationship with modern politics, challenging our conceptions of what it means to speak and be Chinese." -- Publisher's description

《缅甸语与汉藏语系比较研究》主要通过缅甸语与汉藏语系语言在语音、词汇、语法、方言和文字等方面作全方位的共时和历时的比较研究，发现汉藏语系中语言的变化有着共同的规律。如：汉藏语系语言的语音变化有着许多共同的趋向；复辅音声母的演变影响到声调和韵母的变化；辅音韵尾和韵母的变化促使声调的产生和发展；形态变化和构词法的异同反映了汉藏语系语言的特点；分析型的语法手段之一的助词在不同语言之间的变化有着许多共性和特性等等。书中还就汉藏语系研究的理论和方法提出了作者自己的见解。《缅甸语与汉藏语系比较研究》还通过语言、方言、文字和文化的比较研究，揭示了汉藏语系有关民族的产生和发展，文化的传承、交流和融合的史实。

1、本书结构完备。既有一般静态描写，也注意反映动态变化中的某些现象，如语法一章的“残留与萌芽”版块。
2、本书逻辑严谨。每个问题都有足够多的事实做支撑，东干话和汉语有差异之处，尤其如此。
3、本书极具创新性。第一次提出并回答了东干话变调的借调法、词汇发展的多元化倾向、“X+子”词：一种独特的名词子系统构形现象、 东干话的特殊语序等问题，并对单句尤其复句的类型作了拓展、归纳，使其成为一个完整的句型体系。
本书是国家社科基金后期资助项目成果。该成果从概况、语音、词汇、语法、语料等方面对东干话进行了全面调查，与以往同类研究成果相比，有明显建树。本书创新性强、结构完备、逻辑严谨，具有重要的学术价值。

This book investigates the nature of generalization in language and examines how language is known by adults and acquired by children. It looks at how and why constructions are learned, the relation between their forms and functions, and how cross-linguistic and language-internal generalizations about them can be explained. Constructions at Work is divided into three parts: in the first Professor Goldberg provides an overview of constructionist approaches, including the constructionist approach to argument structure, and argues for a usage-based model of grammar. In Part II she addresses issues concerning how generalizations are constrained and constructional generalizations are learned. In Part III the author shows that a combination of function and processing accounts for a wide range of language-internal and cross-linguistic generalizations. She then considers the degree to which the function of constructions explains their distribution and examines cross-linguistic tendencies in argument realization. She demonstrates that pragmatic and cognitive processes account for the data without appeal to stipulations that are language-specific.This book is an important contribution to the study of how language operates in the mind and in the world and how these operations relate. It is of central interest for scholars and graduate-level students in all branches of theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics. It will also appeal to cognitive scientists and philosophers concerned with language and its acquisition.

Icelandic is a syntactically interesting language, with aspects of its word order, clause structure, agreement patterns and case system arousing much theoretical interest and debate in recent years. This is an informative and accessible guide to the structure of Icelandic, focusing in particular on those characteristics that have contributed greatly to syntactic research. Each chapter is divided into two main sections - providing both a descriptive overview and a discussion of the theoretical and comparative issues involved - and a wide range of topics are covered, including case, agreement, grammatical relations, thematic roles, word order, clause structure, fronting, extraposition, complement, adjuncts, pronouns, and inflection. Also explored in detail are the similarities and differences between Icelandic and other related languages. Presupposing only a basic knowledge of syntax and complete with an extensive bibliography, this comprehensive survey will be an important tool for all those working on the structure of Scandinavian and Germanic languages.

The last decade has seen a fundamental rethinking of the concept of context. Rather than functioning solely as a constraint on linguistic performance, context is now also analysed as a product of language use. In this new perspective, language and context are seen as interactively achieved phenomena, rather than predefined sets of forms and contents. The essays in this collection, written by many of the leading figures in the social sciences, critically reexamine the concept of context from a variety of different angles and propose new ways of thinking about it with reference to specific human activities such as face-to-face interaction, radio talk, medical diagnosis, political encounters and socialisation practices. Each essay is prefaced by an introduction by the editors which provides relevant theoretical and methodological background and demonstrates its relation to other essays in the volume. The editors' general introduction provides a lucid overview of the issues currently debated. Rethinking Context will be required reading for everyone working within the fields of linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, pragmatics, conversation analysis and the sociology of language.
